When Carrot Top Opened Up About Being Bullied During Childhood
In 2015, comedian Carrot Top spoke about the impact of youth bullying. In an interview with the Des Moines Register, he said he was working with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center to raise awareness of bullying in schools. Furthermore, the article said he spoke from experience, having endured a lot of bullying as a young person. He said people made fun of him for his “kooky red hair.” He also noted that some bullying leads to suicide. Revealing that one of his road manager’s children was the inspiration behind the cause, he said:
“My road manager gets credit for this one. One of his kids gets bullied. It’s a real problem for so many kids. They get bullied on the school bus, at school, on the Internet and then at home. Some kids actually commit suicide over this. I can relate. I have this kooky red hair, and people have made fun of me every freaking day. So, this is a way raise awareness and donations for PACER to help put an end to bullying.”
